Plaid shirts are a classic item in a casual wardrobe. But I love to take a casual item and dress it up…and take a dressy item and dress it down (always have to be contrary)! I remember when I was younger we referred to plaid flannel shirts as “cowboy shirts.” Remember the

MONDAY Worked from home. Don’t think I left the building. Intended to go for a walk after work but. The End. TUESDAY Worked in the office. The building is still very quiet as we don’t allow any “outsiders” in. Deliveries just get left in the outer lobby, no parent meetings on-site, no

monday Never left the building. I hate getting dressed for no reason (thanks, Mommy). Hence, no picture. tuesday Was hoping for a cool day so wore a cozy cardigan but it was way too warm in the building to leave it on. I can’t wait til payday so I can finally buy

  Welcome to the monthly edition of Where Bloggers Live. It’s kind of like HGTV’s “Celebrities at Home,” but…Bloggers! Who doesn’t like to peek behind the scenes and see inside people’s homes? Every month a group of seven bloggers share their workspaces, homes, towns, and more! This month’s theme is These Are

Monday-Friday I’m pretty much just working, going home and blog-working, getting on the sofa by 9 to watch more K-drama. Staying up way too late. Lather, rinse, repeat. OH SHOOT! I just realized I never wrote anything about the 2-week sugar detox! I started it last Tuesday and just went on my merry

Hahaha when I just put all the pictures in here I realized I’m looking down in every single one. IT WAS JUST ONE-A THOSE WEEKS! Plus, Monday was a holiday and I’m not sure I ever got dressed or left the building. Tuesday Work from home day. Obvi. There was a zoom

I bought a couple “things” – a new small non-stick pan for eggs and a glass baking dish cuz mine is still lost in a box somewhere. These were both in-person purchases at the Corning Outlet when we went upstate in the beginning of the month, so no pictures. And I bought

It’s that time again! The new season’s weather is starting to take hold and most of your summer clothes have been pulled from your closet already. Now is the time to go through your closet, item by item, thinking about the outfits you do, or would like to, create with that item.

Next to “fat ladies shouldn’t wear horizontal stripes,” I think “don’t wear white after Labor Day” is my favorite fashion rule to break. And I know I’ve said here before that I think I actually prefer white jeans in fall and winter because of the contrast between them and the rich, spicy colors

MONDAY Monday. Nuff said. TUESDAY Worked from home. Left the apartment the second I punched out at the end of the day and went for a walk in a nearby preserve. Felt good to just be outside and moving. WEDNESDAY Yay! PA straightened out the welbutrin prescription! Thanks, Rita! Was 80 degrees today

Apologies for this week’s pictures…I was trying a couple different things. Obviously, none of these worked out  🙁 MONDAY Pulled this dress back off the sell pile, ha ha. I’ll wear it a couple of times this fall – it’s best season – and then it’ll go. I don’t know what I

It’s been a year since September 2019 when we did The Great Sugar Detox,  a two-week expedition into the world of NO SUGAR. I say “we” because some readers joined me in this adventure. We had an email group and supported one another, sharing challenges and successes, what we were eating, as

MONDAY Worked from home. So did Janey. TUESDAY Worked at work. Good news, we’re allowed out of the building at lunch, yahoo! Went to the doctor after work just for blood work, he wanted to check my Vitamin D levels, blah blah blah, and I needed a prescription for the MRI my

(I know, a post on Sunday is weird…this was supposed to go up Friday and for some reason, it just did not. It said “missed schedule,” whatever that means. Grr.) It’s that time again! Time to take stock of your wardrobe, make some decisions about the items you’re not wearing, and decide

Where has the time gone? Where has my birthday gone? MONDAY Monochrome day. Worked from home so open toes were allowed. Sweater: Ellos cashmere, size 3x. Sold out. Comparable here and here. Pants: Old Navy, size 24 short Slides: Birkenstock Madrid Hex Sandal in cognac TUESDAY Look! I’m dressing like fall and

I have bragged about making THE BEST coffee milkshake and I was actually surprised by how many people responded that they’d never HAD a coffee milkshake – even coffee LOVERS! Way back when, when I first discovered my love of coffee (and that was not really until my late 20s when places

I feel like surely I already have a post titled “The Best Laid Plans.” If not three. I’d been thinking about this outfit for awhile. In theory, I love the combination of leopard, blue chambray, and olive green. But it wasn’t all quite working out for me. I should have buttoned the
